The majority of pathological jaundice cases occur in low and middle- income countries (LMIC). Phototherapy has been determined to be the safest and most effective treatment for jaundice. Although inexpensive light-emitting diodes are available on the market, commercial phototherapy devices are expensive (~US$2,000), which creates a barrier to access for these devices in LMIC. Efforts to construct cost-effective phototherapy units have been implemented in the past, but need a method to validate the intensity and wavelength of light received by the infant at a distance away from the source.","Page image":"File:OSlightsensor.jpg","Page is part of":"Category:FAST Completed","Page keywords":"light therapy, LED, severe neonatal jaundice, jaundice, hyperbilirubinemia, phototherapy, appropriate medical, 3D printing, additive manufacturing, open hardware, open-source hardware, frugal innovation, frugal biomed, biomedical engineering, light sensor","Page language":"en","Page license":"CC-BY-SA-4.0","Page title":"Open-Source Light Calibration System for Hyperbilirubinemia Phototherapy Treatments","Page title tag":"Open Source Neonatal Light Therapy Device","Page views":"8","Page year":"Thursday, 01-Jan-26 00:00:00 UTC","Project coordinates":"42.983675, -81.249605555556","Project location":"London, ON","Project status":"Designed, Modelled, Prototyped, Verified","Project thumb":"https://www.appropedia.org/w/images/thumb/9/95/OSlightsensor.jpg/330px-OSlightsensor.jpg","Project uses":"3D Printing","Modification date":"Saturday, 25-Apr-26 01:12:58 UTC"}
